Trump just pissed off Beijing in a major way

[Protean]

Who cares, Its China. One of the two Asian Counties I don't care for, next to North Korea. If you care about China, try to live there. Asian are the most Racist people ever, their sooooo Racist, they are even Racist against other Asian Races......... That coming from an Asian (Me).

Racism to them is as normal as classism is to Americans.

Just saying.

[Chernobyll]

This is small concern.

Wait until he upsets some Muslim countries, and starts WW3.

Should he just befriend with them and help them create another ISIS like Hillary did? Oh well.

Trump will pierce the heart of ISIS and for good he will proihibit muslim to join US. They should all stay in their countries, where they treat their women like shit (and like shit I mean, they treat their women like slaves), kill gays, etc.

[Syero]

as someone who works in importing/exporting packages, i'm fine with him pissing off china. They always have the heaviest packages coming into the US everyday and there are like 3000 of them. They somehow made phone chargers weigh 70 pounds by packing the box with 500 of them.

[Molis]

Enjoy your president. And your debt. Really, enjoy it. Keep pissing off world leaders with a 70 years old fool that doesn't know, and doesn't give a shit, about politics and international relations. Enjoy your Trump. Four *wonderful* years await you. Whole world is watching, and laughing.

Thank you?

I don't know if you've ever actually been or lived there, but nobody bows down to China. Aside from being a chip on the political axis and a source of annoying tourists, there isn't even a hint of socialist China in Taiwan. They didn't settle for free trade. They have their own government and hence their own politics. Their own military. Their own unique blend of mainland and indigenous culture.

A conflict with China is the fastest way to end all of this.

And I can't get past the irony of how fighting and dying for pride alone is actually idealism.

Hint: All candidates for leadership in Taiwan are hand-picked by the Chinese gov't. So much for the "their own gov't and politics" theory.

So, the US then?

Hand picked? :P

Doesn't sound handpicked. But where do you have this from? Are you from Taiwan?

Do a little research. Over the last 40+ years Beijing has hand-picked a large amount of Taiwanese leaders.

I can t believe you Trump haters are still going on about a stupid phone call. 27 pages of this childish petty crap
when not one of you had one fucking problem with Obama approving the sale of over 1 billion dollars of military equipment to Taiwan an action that had China making a statement saying they strongly opposed, threated sanctions, calling the sale being against international law
Your hypocrisy and double standard strip away any credibility you had left

1) The equipment is mainly 70s era junk.
2) China was clued in.
3) It was conducted over the proper channels versus a stray telephone call and a bunch of tweets.

Diplomatic protocols exist for a reason, and it isn't being 'politically correct'.

China summoned the U.S. charge d'affaires in Beijing, Kaye Lee, to protest and said it would impose sanctions on the companies involved, China's state news agency Xinhua reported.
"Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. China strongly opposes the U.S. arms sale to Taiwan," Xinhua quoted Vice Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang, who summoned Lee, as saying.
Zheng said the sales went against international law and basic norms of international relations and "severely" harmed China's sovereignty and security.

WW3 won't be fought over or against Muslim countries. I know, the fearmongering machine is going full throttle on the Muslim agenda, but Muslims aren't the enemy. Certainly not enough to warrant a world war.

If WW3 were to be fought between the Muslim world and the western world, It would be glowing at night in the ME rapidly.

Lmao, and I guess Obama is also the secret head honcho of ISIL?

P.S. Trump won't be banning anyone from entering the U.S. for good.

Yes that's called standard protocol when these things happen. China makes a fuss. Summons the the highest ranked US member of embassy staff. Make a public huff, then behind closed doors bow, converse like normal since nothing is changing and realise this is part of the game that's been played since the US recognised the PRC over the ROC since in the long run it benefits all 3 players.

It is another Chinese "stash" they use to dump US treasuries less conspicuously.

And... what exactly prevents same thing happening now? Doesn't really look any different so far.

I don't think you're understanding what's being discussed here. If you have any questions, feel free to go back to page 1 and start reading again. If you reach this post for the second time, you can ask me what bits you don't understand. I'll volunteer to explain stuff to you in a manner that you may understand. Note, however, that you may be offended about the tone I'll be doing that in. HTH HAND.

Oh god thanks for the good laugh. I know full well what is happening here. You're the one who seems to be clueless.

You do not mess with the world's factory / one of the largest market, army and investor in the modern World. Don't talk about Tibet or Taïwan or HK (even if it's now part of mainland China). As simple as that.

So ignorant. Yea yea don't piss off the paper tiger. Like they wouldn't instantly plummet into a massive depression if we stopped buying all their cheaply made shit.

Well, the thing is... you're actually gloating that you buy cheap junk from China. As if that's an accomplishment. Seriously, do you have no shame at all?

Why should he feel shame for that? That makes no sense.

Belgium has been buying up tons of US Treasury Securities (US debt). Roughly enough to equal about 70% of Belgiums' GDP. This is being driven by China, who hides some of their Treasury buys in Belgium.

We buy "cheap" from China not because of the quality of the gear, it's because of how them owning our debt works. They purposely buy up the US debt, to inflate the value of the US Dollar, as the Chinese Yuan doesn't hold the value it does. Chinese government purposely inflates the value of the dollar, to make it more valuable and we get to buy their stuff at a severe discount.

China is reliant on the US dollar and our middle class to buy their products, they may make some complaints (which according to the article they really haven't said much) in the end they'll back our play, because they need us.

Also, as of late 2015 Japan owns more US debt than China does, let alone they both own less than 10%. Federal Reserve owns nearly triple of the US debt than China and Japan do. So we are indebted to our own bank, than we are foreign governments.
